Sometimes

Sometimes I can block out
the noise, fodder and distraction
and hear that inner voice

who tries to say her lot
always calm and gently
It often disappears under the rumble.

Her voice is rooted in love
and always looking out for my wellbeing

when I stop ruminating, interrupting,
habitually filling the awkward silence,
I free the inner me

out of the cage of silence and past hurt
out of the chamber of iron and thorns
to express utter knowing and passion

when did being authentic become so scandalous?

The Wisdom of Trees (part 1)

Red, banana-shaped leaves 
all beneath a tree,
like a bright blanket, 
winter sparkly lights 
gleam on its branches.

I look up and stare into its outstretched arms
trying to learn its secrets.  Tell me,
how do you so lovingly let go 
once your true colors have emerged?

Show me that it is okay to be naked 
and surrounded by beauty at the same time.
Vulnerable but not lost.
Rooted and grounded in 
that strong inner knowing.

Whisper your secret in my ear.
Lend me your wisdom.
My eager beating heart awaits your reply.

Inspiration and the Sacred

Healing Insights with JenLeave a comment 
Where does inspiration come from?
It can be a fleeting idea,
A word or phrase that lights me up
And I want to become the explorer
of my own inner terrain.

[The Sacred]
It happens in solitude
And when I’m out in nature.
I feel most connected to
The wisdom of my heart.

Beauty always surrounds me,
Even in the mundane and hard times.
I just have to be willing
And open to see it.

When I connect to my heart and breath,
I feel I am taking an active role in my life.
I’m not getting carried away by the rushing tide
of emotions and circumstance.

In that moment, the magic happens.
I no longer have to struggle.
I can literally go with the flow.

Again, I return to the explorer within,
Who recognizes the difficulty in truly letting go
With surrender and vulnerability.

There is peace and ultimate freedom
To find creative solutions,
To take a beat before I react,
And to connect to my inner wisdom.

How does inspiration and the sacred come to you?
